So instead of the LSB they have the LCL. About 20% of the hymns are different than LSB, reflecting more of the heritage of Francophone Christianity. Also, of the three settings of the DS, one of them is a setting by a French Canadian composer that has been popular in Quebec for well over 10 years now. I'll tell more about it in a future post.....you just gave me the idea to give it a review! :)<br /><br />They only have 60 of these books, 45 of which I brought over. Up until now, they have just had a handful of hymnals from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of France, out of which the pastors taught the people the few hymns they knew well from their seminary training in France. <br /><br />They are hungry for hymnody and hope to be given more hymnals and also hope that I will be able to return soon and teach them more of our hymnody. I do hope to be able to nurture the seeds that we planted last month in Brazzaville. I think the soil there is tender indeed!Philliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715953453920138624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461698464806055180.post-4940297135232540142010-10-16T21:37:31.092-07:002010-10-16T21:37:31.092-07:00their hymnal. sorry.their hymnal. sorry.Amberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650884515357940495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461698464806055180.post-71966515888515092492010-10-16T21:37:19.398-07:002010-10-16T21:37:19.398-07:00And my heart too.
